# Ecco Sensors

> Connect Ecco Sensors to KODE OS for lighting, other data

> Connect Ecco Sensors to KODE OS for lighting, other data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect Ecco Sensors to KODE OS. You can discover devices and points, pull environmental and energy-related data over REST with historical collection, and monitor lighting-adjacent sensor streams alongside other building data.

| Property            | Value           |
| ------------------- | --------------- |
| **System Type**     | Lighting, Other |
| **Communication**   | REST            |
| **Collection**      | Pull            |
| **Collection Mode** | HISTORICAL      |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data

## Prerequisites

* An active account with Ecco Sensors and access to their API or developer portal
* API key or token from the Ecco Sensors platform
* KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

## Generate API Credentials

1. Log in to the Ecco Sensors platform or admin console
2. Navigate to the API settings, developer section, or account settings
3. Generate a new API key or token
4. Copy the key and store it securely -- you will need it when configuring the connector in KODE OS

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **Ecco Sensors**
3. Click **+ Add Datasource**
4. Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow

| Field       | Required | Type     | Description                                             |
| ----------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **URL**     | Yes      | text     | The base URL or IP address of the external system       |
| **API Key** | Yes      | password | The API key for authenticating with the external system |
| **Site ID** | Yes      | password | The site identifier in the external system              |

## Discover Devices and Points

After configuring the connector, click **Discover** on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Ecco Sensors system and return a list of available devices and their data points.

Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS.

For more details on the discovery process, see the [Discovery guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series sensor readings such as temperature, humidity, CO2, occupancy counts, energy consumption, light levels, and other measurable values from physical sensors

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 1 hours)

For more details on collection modes, see the [Data Collection guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/data-collection).

## Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:

* Monitor lighting system status, energy usage, and occupancy-driven behavior
* Coordinate lighting schedules with HVAC and building automation systems
* Track lighting energy consumption and identify optimization opportunities

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Authentication or connection error">
    Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not been revoked or expired in the Ecco Sensors platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Ecco Sensors system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data collection stops or gaps appear">
    Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Ecco Sensors API.
